3-days festival from serious discourse to trashy politainment

queerograd festival takes place for the eight time. This time we question “antagonist thinking” as it produces norms, that create multiple exclusions, marginalisation and hierarchies.

Can we change our normative attitudes? And if so, how?

Ideas and theories of pluralism in society
structural and individual barriers
existing pluralistic practice and successes
